By Harold Harrison. Lafayette, Nov. 8 (JP) The Boilermakers of old Purdue pame close to the promised land today, but couldn't quite make the grade, and had to settle for a scoreless tie with Michigan State on a snow-sogged gridiron before 17,000 shivering spectators. Purdue had two grand scoring chances; Michigan State none. The first Boilermaker threat came in the second "quarter after Bob Chester, Tony Berto and John And-! The Statistics Mich.

Michigan's De Pauw Eleven Runs Wild To Swamp Earlham, 32-0 Greencastle, Nov. 8 (JP) DePauw University's football team ran wild today to shut out an old rival, Earlham, 32 to 0, in the Tigers' filial home game of the 1941 season. It was the Quakers' closing game.

The Tigers pounded the hapless Quakers in the first three periods and then Coach Gaumey Neal gave his reserves a workout. Pair Of Sophs Spark One-Sided Ball State Win. By Bob Barnet The weather was so badthat Simon Legree wouldn't even have chased Eliza, but that didn't stop Ball State's Cardinals from stomping Central Normal yesterday afternoon at Cardinal field, 33 to 0. The wind howled, the field slowly melted away, and the snow came down so fast that it was often impossible to see the length of the arena, but John V. Magnabosco's young men were determined to record their sec-end victory of1 the season and that they did.

Just Straight Football. The red and white, which had lost two, won one, and tied two in preyi-, ous engagements, played plain, ordinary straight football, doubtless be-j cause the small crowd included nu merous citizens from Indiana State, which will be encountered by the Cards next Saturday at Terre Haute. The Sycamore scouts may not have witnessed much trick stuff but they saw a pair of Cardinal sophomores do tricks that only the Cardinal board ot strategy knew they could perform. The game was only minutes old when little Dick Donovan, a sophomore left half from Elkhart, who was filling his first starting assignment ran a Danville put back forty-five yards for a touchdown. Then big Wayne Simpson, a sopho more fullback from Salem, who was also in his first starting performance, took over the spotlight.

Four minutes after Donovan scored Simpson burst through center to score frcm the Warrior 15 and- the sec-end chukker slammed across from the 5 after setting up the play by hoisting a 26-yard pass to Ralph Bib-ler, an end. Other Markers. Dopey Arnold, a reserve halfback, got one in the second on a 17-yard jaunt and Frankie Bogle, another sub tack, ran 30 yards for Ball State's final marker in the fourth. The Cardinals were much too good and Magnabosco used reserves freely. Thirty men saw action and the regu-i lars probably were not in service more than a period and a hair.

Central Normal was not allowed to complete a first down and had a negative "gain" of 27 yards from rushing against 145 yards not negative for Ball State. The Purple Warriors, who were purple with cold, no doubt, got no further into Ball State territory than the 35-yard line, advancing to that point in the third. Taking a 26-to-0 lead in the first two periods. Ball State was content to coast along through the second half and gained only 45 yards from rushing in the final periods. Langas Hit-Run Casualty.

Ed Langas, the regular center, was absent from the Cardinal starting lineup, due to the accuracy of a hit-ship motorist who drove over the sidewalk and knocked him down about 11 o'clock Friday evening. The big Fort Wayne sophomore was bruised and sore at game time and Jim Stone of Marion was the starter. But Laneas came in and played sev eral minutes, only to suffer a minor shoulder inlurv in the third. He was sent in to dress at that point. Simpson's fine punt to the Central Normal one-yard line helped pace the way for the Cardinals' first Ynarker.

Only nine plays after the game opened Boalbey of Central Normal was forced to kick from behind his goal and Donovan, playing the safety position, dropped the ball, picked it up, fell in behind quick-forming interference, and ran over the goal line without a hand touching his uniform. Newt Meer came in to kick the extra point and it was 7 to 0. Gene Friedt, -the left guard, recovered a fumble on the Warrior 24 four minutes later and in four plays Simpson scored from the 15. Meer again kicked the point, Added Fumble Recovery. Another fumble recovers', this time bv Meer on the 21, started the Cards on the march as the second period opened.

Thrown back to the 31 by a penalty, the Cardinals called a pass ana eimusuii mw-u lj five. Simpson then scored on a straight buck and Meer's placement was blocked. A 22-yard gallop by Francis Carpenter, reserve right half, gave the Cardinals first down on the Warrior 17 a few seconds later and after a loss of three yafds Arnold ran around right end to score. Meer's placement was wide and the score was 26 to 0. Taking over on their 48 on a punt as the fourth period opened, the Cardinals quickly scord again.

Bob Bied-enwes, fullback, picked up ten yeards and then drove to the 30, from where Bogle sprinted around end for a touchdown. It was a neat touchdown run, with Bagle sidestepping three tacklers before his blockers formed to shelter him along the remainder of his journey. BALL STATE. CENTRAL NORMAL. Bibler L.

Minneapolis, Nov. 8 (JP) Minnesota's Golden Gophers won their fifteenth straight football game today, defeating Nebraska, 9 to 0, in a stubbornly fought contest.

Stepping methodically along toward another perfect season. Coach Bernie Bierman's outfit held the upper hand from the start, but once more it was that sensational little man Bud Higgins who sparked the Gopher scoring punch. In the second period he skipped ten yards for a first down on the Nebraska one. from where Bob Sweiger powered it over for the game's only touchdown. Field Goal Booted.

The Huskers smashed through to block the try for point and that was the way things remained right on through the third period. Early in the fourth period. Bill Daley tried for- a field goal from the Huskers' 22 but it was wide. Then came a punt exhibition and Bill began plunging for substantial yardage. He battered to the Nebraska seven whert on fourth down, Bill Garnaas booted a field goal.

Nebraska, handicapped without Fullback Vike Francis, gamely gathered in considerable yardage. But its long and short pass game was thoroughly covered by an alert secondary and Minnesota's brilliant tackle, Dick Wildung, took care of the ground at tack by repeatedly breaking through and tossing the ball carriers for losses. Most of Minnesota's troubles on the offensive were cooked up by Marvin Thompson. Nebraska's right end, who harassed the Gophers from start to finish. Lone Husker Threat.

Nebraska made its first and last serious bid for a touchdown just as the first half ended when Bradley completed a 20-yard forward to Metheny to put the ball on the Minnesota 23. But the gun sounded before another play could be attempted. The game was played before 43,000 fans with the temperature below the freezing point and a raw wind whipping across the field. NEBRASKA.

Springfield 4, Buffalo 2. By Bill Boni. Baltimore, Nov. 8 (JP) A workhorse Notre Dame backfield getting solid support from an underrated squad of ends, knocked a big but eventually bewildered Navy football team out of the nation's dwindling undefeated ranks today. The Irish, in keeping themselves on the list of the unconquered with a 20-13 triumph, did so on the fine forward passing of Sophomore Angelo Bertelli; the sweeping, slanting, hard-to-stop drives of Steve Juzwiie and Frederick Owen (Dippy) Evans, and the smashing defensive play and The Statistics Notre Dame.

Notre Dame couln't have won on any single one of these factors, and had a hard enough time winning with the combination of all three before a crowd of 64,795. Notre Dame, for one of the rare times in its big-time football history, supposedly was conceding advantages in manpower and running strength. Yet the Irish made up for that first deficiency by using their substitutes sparingly but well, and more than compensated for the second by shattering virtually every Navy attempt to break a runner loose around the flanks.

Bertelli. the blonde Italian youngster from West Springfield, today was every bit the passer he had been cracked up to be. Unable to help tha Irish at all a week ago when they played a scoreless tie with Army in mud and rain, this time he threw fifteen passes and saw eleven of them completed for 216 yards, almost as much as Navy's total yardage through the air and on the ground. The first one he threw went for 42 yards early in the second period to set up the game's first touchdown; he passed to Juzwik for 18 yards and the second score, and two of his passes that were good for 41 yards brought Notre Dame a first down on the Mid-die eight-yard line, from where they went to their winning tally. Brilliant Passing, Bertelli's passing was a man-el of accuracy and of coolness under pressure and he got some great work oa the receiving end by Bolger.

Evans, Juzwik and Dove, to mention only a few. Evans, who might be called a native Notre Darner since his home is tn South Bend, was brilliant ami opportunist runner all day and launched the opening touchdown drive by intercepting a Navy pass and returning it 39 yards before he was hauled down on the Navy 41. Then came Bertelli's pass to Bill Earley, who was forced out of bounds on the Navy 2. Evans scored In two tries and Juzwik converted. Halfway through the quarter Navy went 54 yards and tie the score.

Sparkplug all the way was 150-pound Howie Clark. He made all but a few yards on this march, getting loots once for 19, passing to End Bob Zoel-ler for 20 more and a first down on the Notre Dame 7, and taking It over from there. Notre Dame bounced right up again from the kickoff, going 79 yards in seven plays, with Bertelli's passes to Evans, Blocking Back Harry Wright. Bolger and Juzwik accounting for 63 yards, Including the final 18. That was an over-the-middle pass to Juzwik.

The second half was only a few minutes gone when Navy tied the score again at 13-all. Fullback Alan Cameron intercepted a Bertelli pass on his 34-yard line and streaked down the side of the field without a man hitting him. Late in the third" period Notre Dame started from the Navy 49 for its winning score. Bertelli's first pais went wild, but the next two, to Earley and Evans, spanned 41 yards for first down on the Navy eight ss the quarter ended. Evan took over here and, on third down from the 6-yard line, knifed through.

Juzwik made good his second extra-point try, to make it 20-13. NOTRE DAME. Dov L. Brutz L. Maddock L.

Nov. 8 (JP) Northwestern, bounding back after its heartbreaking defeat by Minnesota a week ago, plunged to a fourth period touchdown today to defeat a stubborn Indiana eleven, 20 to 14, before 32,000 chilled spectators.

Flurries of snow fell during most of the game. The suppostedly-inferior Hoosiers, victorious over only Nebraska in six games, threw a tremendous scare into the Wildcats by scoring first early in the game and then coming from behind in the third to tie the score at 14-all.

Taking the ball tn their own 43, the Wildcats marched 57 yards in nine plays, with Otto Graham, sensational sophomore halfback, and Don Claw-son, fullback, carrying the ball to Indiana's six.

There Clawson ripped center to score and Dick Erdlitz' placement tied the count, 7 to 7. Graham's 42-yard pass to Clarence (Bud) Hasse on the Indiana 11 set up the second touchdown. Graham in three smashes lugged the ball to the one and then dived over center for the touchdown. Erdlitz" placement sent Northwestern ahead, 14-7. Tie Up Count.

The Hoosiers came back to tie the sgore on a 65-yard drive at the start of the third. After the kickoff, Hillenbrand, Jacoby and Doloway battered the Wildcats back to their own 26. Then Jacoby dashed off right tackle for 22 yards. He followed by plunging to within six inches of the goal and, after losing a yard on the next smash, lateraled to Jacoby, who raced around his own left end to score. Gene White place-kicked the tying point.

Clawson, leading ground gainer of the game with 96 yards, paced the Wildcats' victorious drive, which started on Indiana's 45. Graham passed 16 yards to Bob Motl for a first down on the 29.

STANFORD WINS OVER TROY, 13-0 Indians Sweep Along Toward Rose Bowl. By Robert Myers. Los Angeles, Nov. 8 (JP) Scoring twice in the first period, Stanford University's vaunted touchdown machine swept over Southern California and on along the road to the Rose Bowl today. Remaining in absolute command of the Pacific Coast Conference championship battle, these rollicking, gambling gridironers from Palo Alto turned back the Trojan threat, 13 to 0, in a game that was settled in the first 15 minutes of the day.

Champaign, 111., Nov. 8 (JP) Iowa's steadily improving Hawkeyes put an other hole In Illinois' waning hopes for a Big Ten victory by routing the Zuppke eleven, 21 to 0, today before 14,339 shivering fans. The Hawkeyes, who won their first Western Conference game against Indiana a week ago, held the upper hand throughout, scoring on a first-period pass, adding another touchdown by air In the third period, and then counting again in the last quar ter with a smooth rushing attack. Stellar Teamwork.

Tommy Farmer and Bill Parker teamed up beautifully to account for all the Iowa points, with Farmer pitching both scoring aerials to Parker and Farmer scoring the last touchdown on a short smash after his 36-yard sprint had set the stage. Iowa scored in the first eight min utes. Farmer's pass highlighting his team's drive to the Illinois 36. Then Farmer passed again to Parker.

And thereby hangs another enactment of football's favorite saga the story of the team that always was beaten rising to glory behind a shocking, upset of the team that couldn't be beaten. In this case it waa a band of badly mauled Pitt Panthers they hadn't won once in five previous starts who smashed down a potential football powerhouse, the all-victorious Ford-ham Rams, and dealt their post-season hopes a blow. Balk Rams at Every Turn. The Panthers not only defeated the Rams they balked the touted powerhouse avt every turn and clearly led in every department of play. They drove 70 yards to score in the first twelve minutes of play.

Sophomore Frank Saksa bulleted through from the Fordham one-yard line and Guard Ralph Fife connected from placement for the extra point. Then, after stopping Fordham'a vaunted attack for almost three full periods, the Panthers capitalized on Ram desperation and scored the clincher late In the fourth quarter. Edgar "Special Delivery" Jones, Pitt's great back from Scranton, accounted for this score, rambling thirty yards to the promised land after intercepting a Ram. aerial. The farthest Fordham penetrated Pitt territory was the 13 -yard line in the third period and an interference ruling on a forward pass got them that far.

The yardage charts clearly show Pitt deserved its lyig-rought triumph. The Panthers notched eleven first downs against nine; gained 165 yards against 119 and connected with one aerial in three attempts for an all-important twenty-eight yards while Fordham completed five out of nineteen for inconsequential gains which totaled fifty-six yards.

Crawfordsville, Nov. 8 (JP) Wabash College rolled rough shod today over Franklin in an Indiana Conference football game played on a slippery, snow splattered field, crushing the Baptists, 26 to 7. The Little Giants scored in every period except the last, when the visitors took advantage of a fumble on the 11 -yard line and Fullback Grefe plunged across the goal line. Fullback Bill Windle, 205-pound sophomore from Valparaiso, scored Wabash's first touchdown on a pass interception when the contest was only a few minutea old. George Wilson, substitute senior quarterback from East Chicago, raced 70 yards through the entire Baptist team for Wabash's second counter.

A blocked punt set up the third Little Giant marker as Bob Snyder, reserve tackle from Princeton, scooped up the loose ball and romped 20 yards for the tally. When the Franklin safety man dropped a Wabash punt, Snyder recovered. A couple of plays later Earl Dowd, junior fullback from Rockville, drove over for the final Wabash touchdown.
